Turning the system on
G31163a
To operate the cruise control, push the “ON−OFF” button. This
turns the system on. The indicator light in the instrument
cluster shows that you can now set your desired cruising
speed. Another push on the button will turn the system
completely off.
When the engine switch is turned off, the “ON−OFF” button is
also automatically turned off. To use the cruise control again,
push the “ON−OFF” button again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control engagement, keep
the “ON−OFF” button off when not using the cruise
control.
Setting operation
G31164a
Each function is described below.

Setting at a desired speed.
The transmission must be in the “D” position, or the shift range
position must be “4” (fourth range), “5” (fifth range) or “6” (sixth
range) in the “S” mode before you set the cruise control speed.
Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever
downward in the “– SET” direction and release it. This sets the
vehicle at that speed. Now you may take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. If you need acceleration − for example,
when passing − depress the accelerator pedal enough for the
vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
